What is Trend Tonic?

 

In 2018 whilst cooped up in hospital Kerry started a truly unique earring business. As of February, this year she started to handmake each pair using beautiful lightweight cork. Kerry offers a wide range of shapes and colours so that the buyer can customise a pair to their own taste. Finding inspiration for shapes and colours all around her from seasonal colours to a pattern on her bed sheet.  A lot of thought does go into producing a shape that will suit most face types as well as researching colour and shape anatomy. But it’s not only the shape – who else uses cork?

When asked why she uses cork Kerry explained that she did not want to use leather and products such as faux leather which contain plastics that can take up to 500 years to degrade. With this information a conscious and ethical decision was made to use cork.

Trend Tonic is rapidly growing in popularity, and its easy to see why. Stunning handmade, fully customisable, lightweight, eco-friendly earrings, which stand out in the crowd

Why do I love them?

Whilst scrolling through Facebook I saw a picture that a friend had posted of some beautiful statement earrings. I read the caption about how beautiful and lightweight they are. Up to this point I only wore earrings at special occasions as I find the weight uncomfortable. It was at this point that my editor on Frost Magazine suggested I checked out the Trend Tonic products.

 

First I selected what shape of earring I wanted, I chose teardrop, then I got to choose what colour I wanted, I chose a very neutral colour which was called ‘crocodile’, then I even got to chose what colour hook so I chose silver.

The cost? An appetising £10.

The earrings arrived promptly. The weight was perfect, and the look. But they aren’t just for the younger generation. My mum also loved them and went on to order two pairs herself – each pair was as unique and creative as my own.

What’s more they’re eco-friendly.
